We are excited to welcome Visiting Assistant Professor Jesse Bengson to the department this year.

He comes to us from his recent postdoc at the University of California, Davis, and will teach here for one year while Associate Professor Koven is on sabbatical. Professor Bengson will be teaching PSYC 101 Principles of Psychology and PSYC 328 Rhythms of the Mind this fall.

We are also happy to welcome professors Georgia Nigro and Helen Boucher back from leave.

In addition, several faculty members will not be teaching during the fall, winter and/or Short Term semesters. As you may know, Professor Kathy Low will continue serving as an associate dean of the faculty and so will not teach this year.

Professor Koven is on leave for the entire academic year. Professors Langdon and Sargent will both teach in the fall, but not the winter or Short Term. And Professor Reich will have classes in the winter semester, but not this fall.
